Precision sharpening skills aren’t developed overnight! Here’s a high-tech way to monitor your knife angle during sharpening, with the help of an absolute orientation sensor and bluetooth microcontroller. This project is a collaboration with Alex French Guy Cooking! This is an intermediate level Arduino project, so if you’re an ultra-beginner or a bit rusty, brush up […]

The Christmas light show with Arduino is a project that controls a number of lights according to a song in sync with the music. It can be used to control stage lights and fog machines (that don’t have DMX) with a computer to achieve wonderful synchronization for performances on stage, which is not always possible

After seeing the lovely LED stairs at interactivefurniture.de, I decided to make my own, open-source version. Here is a video of them in action. I am not an expert videographer and cannot do the stairs full justice, but they came out exactly as I wanted. In this clip I use a very simple lighting sequence

This instructable shows how you can use many openly available projects together to build an interesting and complex system. It draws on several community projects including: RepRap, Arduino, Processing, Linux and, of course, Instructables! More specifically this intructable shows how to draw the path of a bouncing ball with a CNC machine. But this is

Judging by the sheer number of chess related Instructables, I think it’s safe to say the community enjoys the game. It can be difficult, however, to find someone who plays on the same level you do. To solve this dilemma, and to increase my playing skills, I built this arduino powered chess playing robot. The

Caveat Emptor: (I don’t want to put you off building one but I also don’t want you to be disappointed.) This Instructable is now 2 years old. Many of the parts it uses are out of date (there’s no drop-in replacement for the now-discontinued gyro, for example) and I’ve had reports that the code is

The LASER Maze was our Processing and Arduino powered garage haunted house for 2011. A monitor sits outside of the garage, displaying “PRESS START.” After the button is pressed, an intro video plays that instructs you to dodge the lasers and get your candy in the back of the garage. Whenever you break a laser

Building upon our last tutorial, which taught you how to build a muscle sensor, we’ve decided to give you a project that really showcases the power of our muscle (EMG) sensors. Advancer Technologies’ “USB Biofeedback Game Controller” harnesses the power of electromyography to allow players to directly control video games with their muscles. At the core
